I will answer this question as soon as you admit that Romney had to be talking about black people in slavery when he said "unchain" Wall Street.
His point was very simple to understand. The right had claimed that Wall Street was put "in chains" by regulations, but the left had claimed that wall Street had to be regulated to keep people from being oppressed i.e. "put in chains" by Wall street like they were BEFORE regulation. So if Wall street became unchained then the common people would be the ones going back into chains.
It had NOTHING to do with race unless you admit that Romney's comments were also about race.
